Personally I avoid RW disks, and have only CDRs and DVD+Rs. They are
not only less expensive than RWs, but in my experience they are
considerably more reliable.


This was true at one time. I had Memorex CD-RW from the old
days, that had a serious bit-rot problem.

I have had lots of RW media since that time, some of
which has been erased a handful of times, and it's still
good media. So I no longer have "RW anxiety" here.
The stuff seems to be working.
